You even state elsewhere that it can't have evidence for it!
My position is this.
People are prone to believe all sorts of stupid things. (scientologists I'm looking at you).
The only way to cut out prejudices, wishful thinking and cultural bias is with verifiable evidence.
Without it you just have an unsupported idea that can be dismissed as at best unproven but probably just wrong.
Faith is the ultimate form of dishonesty. It is illogical to believe something you don't have any evidence for.
